Without being biased, as a Bruin fan living in Montreal, the game 4 win against the Habs showed to everyone that the Bruins were for real. To walk into the lions cage they call the Bell Center, and in spite of the Chara controversies (yes more than one), the B`s were the group that were scratching and clawing in the end. They show the resilience to comeback from a 2 goal deficit, with opportunistic play making, and a bend but don`t break defence.
My daughter and I had attended this game. As a very small minority we like the other B`s supporters were proudly sporting our Black and Gold. We were sprinkled throughout the sea of Red. We could hardly sit through the euphoria of the habs lead. Half way through the 2nd, something changed. Claude Julien called a timeout immediately after the 3rd goal, and the transformation was set in motion. This was the rally cry. It was a defining moment in the game, and it eventually helped carry the Bruins to win the series.
